📋 About This Mod

Details

Does exactly what it says on the tin. The burning effect of Arvaks hooves was never finished after it was created in the famous game jam, a real pity as I always got the feeling Arvak was missing some effects. So I restored and finished them. Check it out, it looks even more awesome ingame!

But isn't this in vanilla already?

Doesn't some other mod already do this?

- no
